Description of Device
The unit is a mobile, liquid gas fired heater without a
combustion chamber and with a fan for transporting hot
air.
The unit works without an exhaust system and is only
suitable for industrial purpose.
The unit is directly heated and are suitable for a allpurpose and simple application.
The unit are equipped with noiseless maintenance-free
axial fan, durable gas burner, electromagnetic valve,
piezo electric ignition, ignition protection with thermoelectric flame monitoring and connecting cable with plug.
The unit is in accordance with the basic safety and
health requirements of the relevant EU – regulation.
Areas of Application
◊ For drying new buildings.
◊ Spot heating of working places outside or in open, fire-
proof halls and production places.
◊ Permanent or temporary heating of rooms with suffi-
cient fresh air intake.
◊ For defrosting of machines, vehicles and non flam-
mable storage goods;
◊ for tempering frost-endangered parts.
Working of Device
When the unit has been switched on (operating switch
in position "I" = heating operation), the supply air fan is
started and the electromagnetic valve opens. However,
the gas supply to the burner is still blocked.
The gas supply to the burner is released only after having pressed on the pin of the thermoelectric gas valve
(safety pilot). The liquid gas is supplied by means of a
nozzle under pressure to the burner pipe, where it is enriched with an adequate quantity of oxygen which has
been adapted to the burner capacity concerned.
The generated gas-air-mixture is ignited at the burner
head by an electric ignition spark. The spark is generated by the manual actuation of the piezo electric igniter.
The thermoelectric control of the flame is started by
heating the thermocouple. The pin of the safety pilot is
to be released.
Gas supply is interrupted in case of operating troubles
or when the flame goes out. However, the supply air fan
continues working. The unit has to be restarted.
The temperature limiter interrupts the gas intake when
the unit is overheating. The automatic release of the
temperature limiter occures after the unit has cooled
down. A restart of the unit is necessary.
When any work is carried out on the gas supply
line and when the gas cylinder is replaced, all
stop valves must be closed and there may be no
G
ignition sources in the direct surroundings.

Safety devices may be neither bridged nor
blocked.

General Instructions
◊ The unit may be operated only by those persons who
have been instructed regarding the unit’s operation
and the handling of liquid gas.
◊ When using the unit make sure always to ob-
serve the guiding principles of the countries and
states concerned.
◊ The unit may only be operated in rooms when
– the air rate fed to the unit is sufficient for combus-
tion and
– the rooms are well ventilated and de-ventilated
and
– the percentage of the substances which are injuri-
ous to health in the breathed in air has no inadmissible concentration.
◊ A good and natural ventilation and deventilation
is given if e.g.
1. the room volume in m³ corresponds to at least 30
times the nominal heat load in kW of all the units
being operated in the room, and if a natural air exchange through doors and windows is ensured, or
2. if there are permanently open ventilation possibilities for ingoing and outgoing air near the ceiling
and the floor, of which the size in m² corresponds
to at least 0.003 times the nominal heat load in
kW of all the units being operated in the room.
◊ A uniform unit connection pressure of 0.3 bar (300
mbar) of category I
of the European Community.
◊ The connection pressure may not fall below or ex-
ceed the required value.
◊ When using longer hoses the corresponding pres-
sure loss has to be considered.
◊ Make sure to use exclusively components, such as
gas hose, pressure controller and tube security devices (protection against breakage) or safety devices
against gas leakage, that have been tested and are
suitable for the intended purpose.
◊ The pressure controllers must have a firmly regu-
lated initial pressure of 300 mbar and are to be
equipped with a security device against tube breakage.
◊ The unit may not be operated, if the gas occurs liq-
uid in to the burner.
is necessary for all countries
3B/P
◊ In building site operation it is only allowed to use
hoses which are suitable for liquid gas.
According to regional regulations.
◊ The length of the gas hose should not exceed 2 me-
tres.
◊ If there are special operational reasons and if corre-
sponding safety regulations are considered and the
length of the hoses are as short as possible it is also
possible to use longer hoses.
◊ Gas hoses are to be protected generally against
chemical, thermal and mechanical damage.
◊ In uncontrolled operation hoses with hose-break pro-
tection must be used.
◊ The operating personnel has to check the function of
operation and safety devices and the existence of
safety devices before starting the unit.
◊ If any defects are stated the superintending person
has to be informed.
◊ If any defect occurs which endangers the operating
security of the unit, the unit has to be switched off!
◊ The unit may be only maintained by trained persons
and only original spare parts may be used.
◊ Wearing and ageing parts of the unit have to be re-
placed regularly. This is not valid if an expert confirms the faultless function of the unit.
◊ If the unit has been switched off by the temperature
limiter due to overheating, the reason for the fault
has to be detected and eliminated.
For optimum unit operation, the device should not
be operated at an ambient temperature above 25 °C.

Before Starting
Make sure to charge a person with the operation of the
unit and with the supervision of the reservoirs and of the
bottle stock who has been instructed sufficiently regarding the handlings concerned.
Make sure to draw the operators‘ attention to possible
dangers during the handling of liquid gas.
The persons charged with the operation of the units
have to check the units before starting work to detect
obvious defects on the operating and safety elements
and to make sure that the safety devices have not been
removed.
A constant unit connection pressure of 0.3 bar
(300 mbar) must be ensured, also during continu-
G
ous operation.
When any work is carried out on the gas supply
line and when the gas cylinder is replaced, all
stop valves must be closed and there may be no
G
ignition sources in the direct surroundings.
Important information about the installation
When installing or removing the gas hose make sure to
exert a counterpressure on the gas connection nipple of
the unit using an open-end spanner SW 17 and observing the left-handed thread.
This procedure also refers to all further gas components, such as pressure controller, hose security device
(protection against breakage), etc.

Connection of gas supply
Make the connection as follows:
1. Connect pressure controller to
the gas cylinder(s).
Attention!
left-handed thread!
G
2. Open cylinder(s) valve(s).
When gas is taken out of several gas cylinders simultaneously, all the valves have to be
opened.
3. Press release button of the
hose-break protection (protection
against breakage) after having
opened the valve(s).
This has also to be done after
each replacement of cylinders.
Insufficiently dimensioned supply plants can cause icing
of the pressure gas or pressure reservoirs. When the
gas pressure falls a proper gas supply to the consumer
points can no longer be ensured in many cases.
This will result in imperfect combustion, harmful waste
gases or extinction of the flame. Therefore the supply
plant is to be dimensioned in such a way as to ensure
that problems of this kind cannot be caused.
The crystalline white frost may not be removed by open
fire, glowing objects or radiators.
Sufficient gas supply is to be ensured according to the
unit power rating (see identification plate), service life
and ambient temperature of the supply tanks.
In principle, we recommend that you use a set of at
least 3 cylinders to avoid intensive icing of the reservoirs. The number of cylinders can be increased by using a set of several cylinders (accessories), depending
on the unit capacity and the service life.
Assembly of Multi-cylinder Set
All cylinders valves must be open to ensure regular gas
supply!
